THURSDAY MORNING, JAN. 26, 1882.
THE LEGISLATURE.
To the exclusion of other matter, we have
printed a full synopsis of the proceedings of
the Legislature since the session began.
While this is of interest to many of our
readers, we are glad to announce that after
this week the pressure from this source will
not l>e so great on our columns, and we will be
enabled to give the usual variety and amount
of news matter to which this page is usually
? devoted.
Monday's proceedings were not marked by
any occurrence of interest. The Senate discussed
the canal bill and rejected the bill to repeal
the stock law; and in the House the proceedings
were mainly devoted to the calendar,
the bills on which are duly noted in our regular
summary.
IMPORTANT RAILROAD ENTERPRISE.
The directors of the Atlantic and French
Broad River Railroad met at Abbeville 011 the
10th instant and signed a contract with
Messrs. Childs & Oliver, of New York, for the
building of the road. These contractors agree
to construct the entire line from Edgetield
Court House to the North Carolina line
through Eastatoe Gap. They are to commence
011 the 1st of September next and complete the
entire road by the 31st of December, 1S84.
The same parties have entered into a similar
contract with the Aiken, Trenton and Edgefield
Railroad, which is to form part of a
through line to the Kentucky system of roads*
The Edgefield, Trenton and Aiken Road and
t ie French Broad Valley Road, after consolid
ition, are to be consolidated with a road in
North Carolina to connect with the Morristown
and Cumberland Gap Road at Morristown,
Tenn. The completed road is to constitute
an independent line connecting Cincinnati
with Louisville and Nashville and with
the seacoast of South Carolina. The line of
road in North Carolina is to run down the
west Fork of Big Pigeon River to Morristown,
Tenn. Messrs. Child & Oliver represent a

ample means to construct every foot of the
road. The construction of the line is nowconsidered
a certainty, and interested parties
are greatly elated at the prospects.
The Atlantic and French Broad Valley
Railroad and connections is designed to run
from Aiken by way of Edgefield, Abbeville,
Belton and Pickens Court House to Asheville,
Xorth Carolina, crossing the Blue Ridge at
Eastatoe Gap, at an easy grade of sixty-five
to seventy feet per mile, and traversing one
of the finest sections of country in upper South
Carolina, a section remarkable for its fertile
lands, thriving towns, magnificent water
courses, rich minerals and intelligent people.
SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

? Columbia lias cancelled the unfulfilled con- J
contract with Thompson & Xagle, and now
proposes to develop her own water power with
State aid.
? Agents have been among the colored people
of Chester county in the last few days,
urging them to go to Atlanta, Ga., to work
on a line of railroad that is in course of construction.
? In view of the alarming prevalence of
small pox throughout the Union, the State
Board of Health has issued a circular urging
upon the people the importance and necessity
of vaccination.
? Mr. J. Ilendrix McLane, who engineered
the Greenback cause in this Congressional district
in the last campaign, is making arrangements
to publish a weekly paper in the interest
of his party at Columbia.
? At the recent meeting of the stock-holders
of the National Bank of Chester, the former officers
were re-elected, as follows: John J.
McLure, president; John L. Harris, cashier;
3). Hemphill, assistant cashier; B. M. Spratt,
book-keeper. C. C. Macoy was elected to fill
vacancy in board of directors.
? During the past few days, two of the oldest
citizens of Spartanburg have died?Mrs. Stuckey,
a relative of Gen. Morgan, of Revolutionary
fame, and the Rev. J. G. Landrum,
one of the oldest and most widely known Baptist
ministers in the up-country, lie was a
preacher in Spartanburg county for upwards
of fifty years.

let in says: "Hon. J. J. Hemphill opposed the
appropriation of ?15,000 to the Citadel Academy
of Charleston on the ground that a military
education is not necessary at this time. He
is right. If any body wants a military education
let them go to Col. Coward's school at
Yorkville and pay for it."
? On Saturday morning last, the southern
bound passsenger train and the northern bound
passenger train on the Charleston and Savan-1
nah Railroad, collided. Both engines were
running at full speed, and the engines and I
mail cars were totally wrecked. Mail Agent j
If. A. Fox and a colored fireman, of the southbound
train, were instantly killed. Other
train hands were slightly hurt, though all the
passengers escaped without inj ury.
? In front of the Presbyterian church at
Walhalla, last Sunday, Charles L. Dunlap,
who, it is stated, is from near Rock Hill, stabbed
Willie Cason, from Hodge's Depot, in the
arm and axillary region, severing several arteries.
The wounds are serious, though not considered
dangerous. It seems that the difficul?
ty originated in the church 'during service, by
Dunlap amusing himself sticking pins in Cason,
who is represented as an afflicted boy,
meek and quiet in his manners. Dunlap is
under arrest.
.. . ? At a meeting of the board of directors of !
the Penitentiary, on Friday night, a resolution
was adopted granting to Col. Verdery,
president of the Greenwood, Laurens and
Spartanburg Railroad, seventy-five convicts j
for one year at S12.50 a head per month to be |
paid in money. About ten days ago Col. Ver- j
<l(-ry applied for the convicts, and after confer-'
ence with the railroad directors agreed to pay 1
?10 a month for them. The action of the
Penitentiary hoard fixing the rate of compensation
at $1*2.50 a month hasbeen communicated
to Col. Verderv, and as soon as he accepts
tiie terms and complies with the ordinary con-'
tract in such cases the convicts will be turned
over to him.
? Nearly all the members of the Legislature
went to church last Sunday. The correspon- j
dent of the Xetcs and Courier mentions this
fact for the information of the friends and
families of the statesmen, and says: Of
course no political significance can be attach- j
ed to the event, but it is nevertheless true
that Dr. Girardeau explained, at an expository
meeting on the same evening, the ''Doctrine
of election." Perhaps it would be well for ;
the Legislature to appoint a conference com- i
mittee on this particular branch of the sub- j
ject. I heard a strong Baptist say to-day that;
under the election bill, as now agreed upon by
the Legislature, the success of the Democrat-,
ic party next fall is "foreordained."
? A Columbia dispatch to the News and
Courier, says that on Thursday night a political
conference was held in one of the Senate
committee rooms between a number of white
men and Miller, the colored Republican Senator
from Beaufort. Thirteen white men, all
of whom are said to have been Democrats,
were present. They hailed from seven counties
and were from the up country, excepting
one, who was from Charleston. Greenville
and Anderson counties were represented, but
the names of the parties are refused by Miller,
who says that the object of the meeting was

on the registration bill, and to adopt some
plan for future political action independently
of the Democratic organization. The strictest
secrecy is preserved as to the deliberations.
Miller, who is Vice-President of the Republican
Executive Committee, denies that there
has been any confere nce of Republican leaders,
or that any appointment of a conference in
February has been made.
NORTH CAROLINA NEWS.
? Dr. Canedo's associates have signed the
contract for the purchase of the Cape Fear
and Yadkin Valley Railroad, and the probability
is the road will be rapidly pushed on to
completion.
? Says the Gastonia Gazette of Friday: "We
have learned from an authentic source that
some of the emigrants who left this county
in Deember last, were robbed in Chattanooga,
Tenn. Mr. R. A Black lost about 8270, John
Jenkins about $100. and Mr. Gill about $100,
but recovered his. A letter to Mr. J. M.
Ford confirms previous rumors in regard to
that unfortunate affair."
? The Lincoln Progress learns from Captain
Waddill, SuiKU'intemlent of Construction on
the Chester and Lenoir Railroad, that he has
iron enough on hand to lay the track of the
road a quarter of a mile, and will begin laying
track in the direction of Newton in ten or
twelve days. Iron sufficient to lay about five
miles of track has been purchased, and as
soon as it is received the work will be pushed
with "diligence and energy" until the supply
is exhausted. Contracts for getting out ties
along the line are new being awarded.
? The statement that Mr. Best's Midland
North Carolina Railway had collapsed seems
to have been premature. So far from the
enterprise having failed, the Goldsboro 3fessenaer,
contradicting the rumor, gives the
following additional information: u"\Ve are
pleased to learn that the first cargo of railroad
steel for the Midland North Carolina Railway
has arrived at Beaufort direct from England.
Two other vessels are soon expected. This
should he taken as an earnestness of Mr.
Best's intention. By the way the grading
has been completed to Smitlifield, upon which
happy event we extend our hearty congratulations
to our friends in that section."
PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
In the Senate on the 10th, the arrearages of
pensions bill was discussed, and also the Sherman
funding bill, both of which measures went
over as unfinished business.
In the House, 4G2 bills were introduced,
among them one for the erection of a monument
oyer the grave of Gen. Zachary Taylor ;
one providing that the tax on distilled spirits
shall hereafter only be due and payable on the
withdrawal of such spirits from bond ; one to
remove the internal revenue on tobacco in
the hands of producers, 011 matches, bank
checks and deposits.
I11 the Senate 011 the 17th, a number of petitions
for a commission of inquiry concerning
the internal liquor traffic were presented. Also,
petitions from citizens of Kansas for woman
suffrage. Senator Blair introduced a bill
providing a pension for Mrs. Lucretia R. Garfield.
The Sherman funding biil was discussed
without further action.
I11 the House, Mr. Armfield, of North Carolina,
offered a resolution for the appointment
of a committee of five members to enquire into
and report concerning alleged abuses practiced
by officers of the internal revenue, or
other persons, in the sixth collection district
of North Carolina. The resolution was referred
to the committee on ways and means.
In the Senate on the 18th, numerous petitions
for an investigation of the liquor traffic
were presented. Senator Brown spoke upon the
currency question. Senator Morgan spoke at
some length in opposition to the Sherman
funding bill.
In the House, Mr. Stephens, of Georgia,
from the coinage committee, made a report on
the subject of metric coinages, which was recommitted
and ordered to be printed. The
remainder of the session was devoted to tl e
consideration of the report of the committee
on rules, proposing an increase in the membership
of certain committees, and the subject
went over without action.
In the Senate on the 19th, on motion of
Senator Davis, of West Virginia, the bill to
permit Judge Hunt, of the U. S. Supreme
Court, to retire, was taken up and passed by a
vote of 41 to 14. Senators Windom and Ilill
each spoke on the Sherman funding bill. Mr.
TTsiwIpv. of Connecticut, member of the Com
? 7 /
mittee 011 Railroads, moved to re-commit to
the committee the hill ratifying the act of tl?e
General Council of the Choctaw Nation granting
to the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad
Company the right of way for a railroad
and telegraph line through that Nation. He
said that the official protest of the Chickasaw
Nation, and other documents submitted since
the bill was placed on the calendar, had not
been before the committee, and he thought
the measure should lie considered under the
new light thus thrown upon it. The motion
was modified, providing that when again reported,
the bill shall be restored to its present
j place 011 the calendar, and so modified the motion
was agreed to. After a short executive
session the Senate adjourned until Monday.
The proceedings of the House were unimportant.
The House, 011 the 20th was engaged 011 the
private calendar, and adjourned until Monday.
MERE-MENTION.
According to a New York mercantile dispatch,
the total visible supply of cotton for the
world 011 last Saturday, was 0,000,242 bales, of
which 2,580,702 was American, against 2,7.14.008
and 2,410,558 respectively last year. In
the four States of Georgia, Alabama, South
Carolina ami Tenne see the number of persons
employed in the manufacture of cotton is 11,788,
against 5,800 in 1870. ? Owing to an almost
unprecedented freshet in Cumberland
River, an expanse of ten miles in and around
Nashville, Tenn., is covered with water. It
is estimated that over three thousand persons
have been driven from their homes, and a great
deal of suffering prevails. ? Anderson Jones,
colored, was hanged at Augusta, Ga., last Friday
for the murder of a white storekeeper for
the purpose of robbery, 15 miles from Augusta,
in December, 1870. Judah P. Benjamin
has written to a friend in New York
that there is not a dollar of any Confederate
assets in Europe, and that the Confederate
bond boom is a fraud.?Congress has voted
Mrs. Lincoln a gratuity of 815,000 cash down,
and increased her pension to $5,000 per annum.
Ex-Governor R. K. Scott has, by
the payment of $500, compromised the suit for
SlOjUOu damages brought bv the mother of
Warren G. Drury, the boy whom ex-Governor
Scott killed. About thirty-three cases of
small pox are reported in Portsmouth, Va.,
and suburbs. A fire occurred in Atlanta,
Ga., last Saturday morning, commencing
about one o'clock, which destroyed seven
large and costly buildings, including the Wilson
House, in which James Wickham, of Fluvana
county, Va., was burned to death. The
total loss was about $500,000 and the insurance
$2(50,000. According to the testimony of
one of the conductors, the Spuyten Duyvil
railroad accident was mainly caused by drunken
members of the New York Legislature,
who were carousing on his train.
THE ASSASSINATION TRIAL.
In the trial of uuiteau, Mr. scovine commenced
his argument for the defense on Monday
of last week and did not conclude until
last Friday. IIis argument was confined almost
entirely to the insanity theory, which he
argued to sustain by a review of all the testimony
introduced by the defense, as well as
much of that offered by the prosecution.
In the course of his argument, he made a
general complaint of alleged unfairness on the
part of the prosecuting attorney, lie had,
from the beginning, prescribed who should
visit the jail and who should not. He had
introduced persons into the prisoner's cell
under a false guise to worm out his secrets,"
and when the prisoner said anything which
might inure to his benefit the prosecuting attorney
had been very careful not to let it become
known.
lie reviewed the life of the prisoner from
his childhood up to the day he committed the
crime, and 011 Wednesday lie discussed statistics
of insane criminals, which have been introduced
in evidence by the prosecution,
claiming that this evidence was of the greatest
benefit to the defense. Discussing the horrors
0 %
of crime, as often shown in the acts of insane
criminals, he said there was nothing in this
act to compare with some of the insane acts
of insane criminals, whose crimes had been
instanced by the prosecution. In this connection
the most remarkable branch of his
argument was developed 011 Wednesday by the
following denunciation of the Stalwart politicians,
which, when uttered, created quite a
sensation in the court-room. Said he:
"Gentlemen of the jury, in my opinion, if
there were not reasons, aud powerful ones,
back of this prosecution, this prisoner never
would have been brought to trial. But I tell
you, gentlemen of the jury, back of this prosecution
is an iiifhience which I have felt, and
which you may feel, gentlemen, before this trial
is ended. There are politicians who seek to
hide their own shame behind the disgrace of
this poor prisoner, and make him a scapegoat
for their crime. I did not intend, gentlemen
of the jury, to take up this feature of the case,
but when I find the power of this Government
used against me in denying me the small pittance
that I have asked?a fair and impartial
trial?and small facilities needed for proper
1 - ^ T .lrt itH/mAnn 4-r\ l?AAn /11 ilnf T onir
ueitjnse, J. uu jiul piupuau iv ivcoy iiuiuu jl u?ij
that such men as Grant and Conkling and
Arthur are morally and intellectually responsible
for this crime. Conkling shall not escape?shall
not shirk the responsibility of the
state of things that led to this act. lie shall
not escape the condemnation of the American
people, if I can help it, for his share in the
disgraceful scramble for office that led to the
conllict with the chosen ruler of this great
Nation and led this poor insane man to compass
what they would have hailed with satisfaction
and as would probably hundreds of
other politicians if it could occur other than
through assassination?the removal of Garfield,
who stood in the way of their unrighteous
and disgraceful struggle for office. Neither
shall Grant escape that condemnation to which
he is so justly subjected, when coming from
Mexico, and coming with undue haste, he
threw his own name into the petty quarrel
about a small office in the Republican party,
and sought to foment differences that had
sprung up. I am not going to see the misdeeds
of these men, high in power, visited upon
the head of this poor insane man, if I can
help it. This clamor for his blood is not for
the purpose of avenging Garfield or of satisfying
justice, but their theory is this : If it) can
be shown this was the act of a sane man then
those politicians in high places will say, of
course we are not responsible for the act of a
sane man. To be sure we had some differences
but then it could never have led a sane
man to do such an act; but, on the contrary
gentlemen of the jury, what is the effect of
your verdict if you acquit him as an insane
man V Why people will say some one is at
fault. They say we will fix the blame upon
the heads and hearts of those men who waged
war on our poor dead President until it de
ceived this poor insane man from reading
daily in the papers what Grant says, what
Conkling says, and from constantly thinking
upon it, to his insane act of killing the President."
On Saturday, the prisoner was allowed to
speak in his own behalf, a report of which is
furnished by telegraph as follows :
The prisoner carefully arranged his glasses,
and, with a flourish began to read from a manuscript,
as follows : "The prosecution pretend
that I am a wicked man. Mr. Scoville and
Mr. Reed think I am a lunatic, and I presume
you think I am. I certainly was a lunatic on
July 2d, when I fired on the President, and the
American people generally, and I presume
you think I was. Can you imagine anything
more insane than my going to that depot and
shooting the President of the United States ?
Von are here te say whether I was sane or insane
at the moment I fired that shot. You
have nothing to do with my condition before
or since t hat shot was fired. Yon must say by
your verdict, sane or insane, at the moment
the shot was fired, If you have any doubt of
my sanity at the moment, you must give me
the benefit of that doubt and acquit. Tliatjs,
if you have any doubt whether I fired tliat
shot, or as an agent of the Deity. If I tired it
on my own account, I was sane ; if I tired it,
supposing myself the agent of the Deity, I was
insane, and you must acquit. This is the law as
given in a recent decision of the New York
Court of Appeals. It revolutionizes old rules
and is a grand step forward in the law of insanity.
It is worthy of this age of railroads, electricity,
and telephones, and it well comes from
the progressive State of New York. I have 110
hesitation in saying that it is a special providence
in my favor, and I ask this Court and
if fi/miB of tliphpst, nennle of
J 111 J lu V^UllOlVICl IV. ~ L K
America think me the greatest man of this age,
and this feeling is growing. They believe in
my inspiration, and that Providence and I have
really saved the Nation another war. My
speech setting forth in detail my defense was
telegraphed Sunday to all the leading papers,
published on Monday morning, and now I am
permitted by his Honor to deliver it to you."
As he reached that point : "I have always
! served the Lord, and whether I live or die?"
he broke down completely?stopped, tried to
choke down a rising lump in his throat, but
found it impossible to keep back a genuine sob.
Taking out his handkerchief he buried his face
in it for a few seconds, and with determined
effort went on again. Mrs. Scoville was deeply
affe'-ted and wept and sobbed bitterly for
some minutes.
When Court convened on Monday, Guiteau
had the opening speech for the day, in the
course of which he served the following notice
upon Judge Porter: "Now, in regard to Judge
Porter, I want to say, as he is to have the
closing of the case, if he attempts to mislead
the court or jury I and my counsel will stop
him. lie came on this case under a misapprehension
of Gen. Arthur, otherwise he would
not be in the case. lie don't properly represent
the government. He only represents
himself."
Judge Porter's bodily weakness was plain to
every one, and he could scarcely be heard except
by the jury and those immediately around
him. "Thus far," he said, "the trial has practically
been conducted by the prisoner and .Scoville,
every one has been denounced at their
will, and even now I am informed that I will
be interrupted by them both." Judge Porter
briefly recited the scenes of disorder, abuse and
slander to which every one upon the case had,
for two months, been subjected, and yet, he
said, "of the three speeches which have been
made by the defense, I will do the prisoner the
justice to say that his was the least objectionable."
He then occupied the session of the Court
in depicting the character of the prisoner and
sketched the circumstances leading to the
crime, painting with fervid language the wickedness
of its execution.
The case will probably be given to the jury
to-day or to-morrow.

through the Senate and its second reading in
the House:

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the State of South Carolina,
now met and sitting in General Assembly, and

THE SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE.
Tuesday, January 17.
Ix the Senate, among the new measures
introduced, were the following: By Mr.
Wylie?Bill to prohibit the sale of spirituous
liquors in the town of Lancaster. By Mr.
Benbow?Petition of numerous citizens of
Clarendon county, asking tor an extension or
time when the general Stock law shall go into
effect.
A number of incorporation bills passed their
third reading, and also the bill in reference
to the Chester county railroad bonds.
The favorable report of the committee on
the military, on a bill to provide for the government,
discipline and organization of the
militia of the State, and to reduce all Acts,
in regard to the same into one Act, came up
on its second reading. When the third section
was reached, Mr. Miller moved that it be
stricken out. The section reads as follows :
"That the organized militia, known as volunteer
troops and national guard, shall be
kept strictly separate; and for all purposes
of parade, drills, musters and encampments
they shall not be paraded together. In the

Mr. Miller made a short speech in favor of
his motion ; but the motion was lost by a large

A number of bills were continued on the
calendar.
The bill to regulate and determine the right
of dower was recommitted to the judiciary
committee.
The night session was devoted to the consideration
of the Code.
In tiie House, several new bills were introduced,
among them the following: I3y Mr. I
Thomas?Bill to prohibit the keeping of a dog J
over three months old without a license. By r
Mr. Allison?Bill to prevent as against credi- .
tors the sale and transfer of the real estate of

the operations of the law. i
Among the committee reports submitted,
were the following by the judiciary committee:
Unfavorable on a joint resolution in reference
to the pay of Circuit Judges while sitting on i
the Supreme bench, as a bill had been intro- t
tluced on the subject. Also unfavorable on a i
bill to relieve litigants ; bill to protect credit- i
ors ; bill to amend the charter of the town of (
Union ; and a bill to repeal an Act to provide e
for the investment and use of the Agricultural j
College fund. These several reports were 5
adopted. The committee on privileges and 1
elections reported favorably on a bill to divide ]
the State into five Congressional districts. <
Mr. Murray, of Anderson, gave notice of a ]
bill to provide a local option law. He stated, <
for the information of the House, that the ob- |
ject was to separate the question of the sale of
liquor in incorporated places from the muni- i
cipal elections, and thus enable the question 1
to be determined, by the people interested, on i
its merits alone, uninfluenced by other local
issues. i
The bill for reopening the South Carolina <
Military Academy was read the third time 1
and sent to the Senate. ]
The special order, being the election law, ]
was then taken up. After being amended in 1
several particulars, none of the amendments,
however, affecting the main features of the i
Kill fmvanla '-I o'plnpfr flip limmp llPflrnn t.O
grow restless, the members evincing a desire
to adjourn. But as the reading of the
bill was nearly completed, the friends of the
measure, anxious to avoid another posti>onement,
secured the operation of the previous
question and read the remainder of the -bill
through in a few minutes, further amendment
being out of order. When the vote was taken
on the question to order the bill to a third
reading, to the surprise of every one, it resulted
in the rejection of the bill by a vote of
55 to 50. Ui>on the announcement of the
vote great excitement prevailed, and amid the
confusion the House adjourned.
Wednesday, January IS.
In the Senate, Mr..IIarllee presented a
petition of sundry citizens of Marion county,
asking for an extension of the time when the
general stock law shall go into effect. The
same Senator also introduced a bill to incorporate
the South Carolina Railway and Manufacturing
Company.
The following bills were read the third time,
passed, and ordered to be enrolled for ratification
: Bill to provide for the government,
discipline and organization of the militia of
this State, and to reduce all Acts in regard to
the same into one Act. Bill to charter the
Spartanburg, Anderson and Atlanta Railroad
Company. Bill to provide for the restriction
of the ages of pupils attending the public
schools. Bill to establish the county of Berkeley
from a portion of Charleston county.
The bill to provide for the better enforcement
of the poll tax came up on its third
reading and was productive of an animated
debate, in which Messrs. G'allison, Gaillard,
Wylie, Henderson, Smythe, Perry and Izlar
onrrufrpfi The motion to strike out the enact
5-"
ing clause was voted down by a large majority.
The bill, so amendend, that the imprisoment
clause reads "five days1' instead of "thirty
days" was finally passed, by a vote of 18 to 12.
Those voting in the affirmative are : Messrs.
Beatty, Bradley, Brown, Byrd, Coker, Crayton,
Ferguson, Harllee, Henderson, Izlar,
Lartigue, McQueen, Moore, Muiler, Patterson,
Perry, Shanklin and Wylie. Those who
voted in the negative are : Messrs. Benbow,
Bossard. Callison, Fishburne, Gaillard, Kinsler,
McCall, Siegling, Smyth, "Williams and
Witherspoon.
The committee on agriculture, to whom was
referred Mr. Midler's bill for the repeal of the
Stock law made an unfavorable report on the
same, and the consideration of the report was
deferred.
In the night session Mr. Muiler presented
the petition of over seven hundred citizens of
Lexington county, asking for the repeal of the
State Stock law. The reading of the Code
was then taken up and considered until adjournment.
In the House, the following bills were introduced
: Bill to authorize the Land Commission
to transfer and deliver to the Board of
the South Carolina Penitentiary the property
known as the Columbia Canal. Bill to re-survey
and re-mark a portion of the boundary

Fayetteville and Florence Railroad to run a

remove at the expiration of lease all manure
raised by them. Bill prescribing the form of
book in which the county commissioners shall
keep the record of claims against the tounty.
Bill to amend the Act to regulate the sale of
intoxicating liquors. [This latter bill was introduced
by Mr. Marshall, of Richland, and
provides for the striking from section 2 of the
Act the amount of S100 now required to be
paid to the State for license to sell liquors. It
is the most direct assault which has been made
on the liquor law at the present session, as it
seeks to strike out one of the distinctive features
of the law. It is made in the interest of
the poor whisky seller, who cannot afford to
pay the license and will, therefore, have to give
up the business, or carry it on clandestinely.]
Reports of committees were submitted as
follows : Favorably on bill to charter the
Townville Branch Railroad; favorably on a
bill to exempt from the operations of the
stock law so much of Lexington county as
lies between Broad and Saluda Rivers; unfavorably
on a bill in relation to crops; unfavorably
on a bill to exempt Beaufort county
from the operations of the Stock law. The
latter report was adopted.
The railroad bill was then taken up, the
question being on the amendment of Mr.
Johnson as a substitute for section 15 of the
printed bill. The amendment is as follows:
That nothing in this Act contained shall in
anywise affect the provisions of Chapter LXV
of the General Statutes authorizing and regulating
the consolidation, purchase and lease
of railroads, and it shall and may be lawful for
any railroad corporation now organized or
which may hereafter be organized under the
laws of this State to guarantee the bonds, or
stock, or dividend of any other railroad corporation
whenever the roads of such corporation
shall connect with each other, or shall
form a continuous line of railroad, directly or
by any connection, such guarantee to be upon
such terms and conditions as may be agreed
upon by the corporation making the same.
The amendment was discussed by Messrs.
Johnstone, Murray, Haskell and Simpson in
favor, and Messrs. VernerandNeel against it.
The following proviso was suggested by Mr.
Simpson and accepted by Mr. Johnstone:
Provided, That no railroad corporation shall
acquire by such consolidation any rights, purchases,
powers or privileges, not under control
of the General Assembly and in common
to the companies so consolidating.
Mr. Ilaskell raised a question as to the effect
of this amendment on the General Statutes
not yet acted on, and pending discussion
of this question, further consideration of the
bill was postponed.
Mr. Williamson, of Darlington, moved to
reconsider the vote by which the election bill
was rejected. The ayes and nays weve demanded,
and on being called, resulted : ayes,
71; nays, 31. A motion was then adopted by
a similar vote to refer the bill to a special
committee of ten, live cf whom shall be opposed
to, and five in favor of the bill, who
shall endeavor to harmonize the differences
of opinion by remodelling the bill.
The following were returned from the Senate
: Hill to provide for the restriction of
ages of pupils in public free schools. The

Valley Railroad Company and the Edgelield,
Trenton and Aiken Railroad Company and
other railroad companies herein named under
the name of the French Broad and Atlantic (
Railway Company, and to allow counties,
cities, towns and townships interested to subscribe
to the capital stock thereof, which was
ordered to a third reading. 1
The bill to provide for the assessment and .
taxation of property, reported by the special ^
joint commission, was taken up for a second
reading, and paragraph *23, section 154, which i
provides exemption from taxation for ten years .
of manufacturers of cotton, woolen and paper j
fabrics, iron, lime and agricultural implements,
occasioned an earnest discussion. Mr. Simpson
moved to strike out the section. After J
discussion, the section was amended so as }
to exclude the manufacture of lime and iron
[except in the ore) from the exemption of tax- ,
ition. At this point, the House adjourned.

in the discusion of the bill to exempt
